So, throughout innistrad, there have been some cards that name these guys, and until now, none have been printed. Im talking about: Gisa, Geralf and Ludevic.
They probably should have been better suited for dark ascension had they been printed anyways. But leaving these dudes out just seems so sad :(. Im hoping they don´t ruin the fun and actually give these characters some life in the form of a legendary creature, maybe.
They seemed to have, not a crucial role in the story (not that i know of), but they weren´t completely out of the picture. So i thought that that wasn´t gonna stop me from thinking that they totally deserve a spot up there with the likes of maybe thalia, avacyn and grislebrand... at least they were more present than gisela and bruna
Any thoughts? There are still a bunch of cards to go though! Keeping my fingers crossed for at least ludevic!
What characters get cards is determined compeltely at random. Major storyline characters have been without cards, while virtually unknown characters get cards.
The chances of getting a card for any non-planeswalker character in a story is low. There are literally dozens of major characters on a given plane and in a given storyline. It is not fesible for them all to get cards.
As far as keeping with the flavor and setting of the last two sets goes, this set's been a pretty big train wreck so far. While it would ve really cool to see one or more of them in card form, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer :?mana::snow::snow:
Legendary Creature – Human Designer (MR)
Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"

Much as I'd (of course) love to see Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist on a nice shiny card, it's doubtful that it'll happen. Still possible, of course, but there's always a lot of mentioned characters that don't get cards.
Innistrad isn't the only block to reference these two. I'm sure Geralf is quoted in the flavour text of the Angels vs Demons cards. Can't remember which one it was....
@ thebeardedshuffler-to add to what Krishnath said. DvsD was released 4 years ago.While they would have know roughly how Innistrad was shapeing up they dont count on it as being set in stone,as we found out with Esper getting what was suppose to be New Phyrexias colored artifacts.And once they decided to have the monster tribes it was better to make a legendary zombie than either Gisa, Geralf or Ludevic since they arent zombies.

Yeah, I was looking forward to Ludevic and Geralf, but oh well. I guess they weren't Chekov's Gun as much as Avacyn & Grisly.

I wouldn't be surprised if these showed up down the line in side-products like Planechase or Commander. But yes, I agree with the OP that it's sad we didn't get these as legends. Might've preferred one of them over Grimgrin, but that's just my opinion.

None of them. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&flavor=+[Geralf]
Geralf is quoted on exactly five cards so far.

Its really depressing they'd leave out such important characters for the sake of some of their lame Mythic Rare choices..
